PEEFACE. 

Herewith I hand you, dear reader, the great illus- 
trated Egyptian Dream Book of the wise and enlightened 
Monk Aegydius Lebrecht, as it has been compiled by 
him from ancient Egyptian, Arabian, Chinese, and Swe 
dish manuscripts, and enlarged by me from the riches 
of the great and wonderful revelations which have been 
bestowed on me. In this book you will find, without 
any trouble, the interpretation and meaning of all your 
dreams, if you only look for the right word. 

The lucky Numbers which are added to the dreams, 
and the lucky numbers and the interpretation of the 
dreams are the result of most careful observation and 
the experience of many years, and my earnest wish is, 
that they will bring you a fortune, and then I shall feel 
myself amply compensated for my trouble. 

I pray you not to lose sight of the lucky and unlucky 
days of the year and to pay attention to my directions 
towards the end of the book. And now, dear reader, 
Good Bye ! 

THIAN-SCHEN-PE-LULA.

DIRECTIONS, 

HOW TO PLAY IN THE LOTTERY SO AS SURELY TO 

WEST. 
By THIAN-SCHEN-PE-LULA. 

It is easy enough to understand, that every one 
who plays in the Lottery would like thereby to become 
rich ; therefore much has been written on this subject, 
and the directions and means to attain this end have been 
issued in many books. The most of them, however, have 
very little practical use, and only very few offer anything 
worthy of notice. 

Whereas the players in the lottery in the selection 
of their numbers generally wish to be successful, there- 
fore many among them make use of the so-called wheels 
of fortune. A wheel of fortune is a wheel, upon which 
good luck stands upright, in so far as the artists repre- 
sent it as a human being, to show the changes and un- 
certainties of those incidents upon which our welfare in 
the visible world generally depends. There are three 
sorts of these wheels of fortune. First, such as are here 
described, and which serve for no other purpose, than to 



— 96 — 

represent fortune in a symbolic manner, or to design or 
delineate a picture of tile Goddess of Fortune, (Fortuna), 
of the ancient heathens. Secondly, certain little books 
are sometimes also called " wheels of fortune," which, 
by turning down a part of a leaf or by throwing dice in 
an artistic manner, either upon certain marked off places 
on the pages, or by pointing out certain sayings, which 
are intended to inform the players of their imaginary 
good fortune. These little books are very interesting in 
a cheerful company, and the play which is thereby pre- 
sented is in itself innocent, provided that no reasonable 
person will take the matter seriously. And thirdly, 
the wheels of fortune are certain dials or disks, on 
which all the ninety numbers in a circle are written, 
which have a somewhat raised, pointed wire between each 
number. Upon the numbers which are so enclosed with 
pointed wires, there is a round space like the circle of 
the ninety numbers, in which a ball may be driven 
around. After the rapid motion of the ball has ceased 
it will stop before a number, and such numbers the 
lottery players are in the habit of choosing. This is 
the mode of proceeding in the selection of the second, 
third, fourth, &c. This method is in every point of view 
harmless, since not the least shade of superstition is 
easily possible ; but it is also just as uncertain a method 
as it is harmless. It agrees with the drawing of the 
balls, on which the ninety numbers are placed, and which 
are generally kept in a bag. It may happen that one 
may receive the same numbers that are drawn, and thus 
every one, who cannot study or imagine the numbers 
himself, may have recourse to this method. In some 
of the Lottery Plans and in some sorts of triangles an 
abuse rather than superstition may creep in, therefore 
we shall not take the trouble to describe them here at 
large. But we will rather describe a species of triangle, 
because it is particularly recommended in some works, 
and because it may perhaps please some of our readers. 
It consists of the following figure, and it is called by some 
the Cabalistic sign of luck. 

Now this double triangle, or as some call it, this 
cabalistic Sign of Luck, represents all of the ninety num- 
bers, as they are mixed up in the lucky vase. If you 
would, therefore, select your number for a future draw-

ing after this triangle, then you should have the numbers 
of the previous drawing, and from the same seek the 
numbers for the next drawing, in the following manner : 
viz., suppose that in the drawing last gone through with, 
the first drawn number was 17, you must then seek for 
number 17 in the figure, then count five numbers for- 
wards, and choose the next following number for the 
next drawing; here number 32 would thus be the first 
number for the next drawing. Proceed in like manner 
in the counting with the remaining forthcoming numbers. 
Thus, if in the next forthcoming drawing the second 
drawn number was 24, then likewise count from this 
number five numbers forwards, and the sixth following, 
namely number 44, will be the second number for the 
next drawing, &c. But here you must observe, that 
when you. come to a point of the triangle, you must im- 
mediately continue to count in the next following line. In 
this manner you may try rightly to discover, through 
the numbers drawn in the preceding drawing, those 
5 



— 98 — 

numbers that will be drawn in the following drawing. 
Yet we do not give it as an unfailing and certain means 
to guess at the numbers, and according to your liking 
to make Saddles, Gigs and Horses. 

In general, you most consider the lottery solely as 
an opportunity to try your luck, as a back-door through 
which many a one has succeeded to slip into the lucky 
palace. Lotteries were not introduced to make people 
rich by playing, but only to increase the revenues 
of the State, and to give to those who wish to try 
their luck an opportunity to do it. Many a one pays 
a few cents, and rests under the expectation of winning 
some hundred dollars, without losing any time in the 
process ; one rejoices till the drawing, and flatters him- 
self with the hope, in case of luck, in some measure to 
be able to improve his condition. Now, this is some- 
thing, that no one will condemn ; but if any one neglects 
his business, — if he puts his full trust and confidence in 
the lottery, such a man is a fool. We use all lawful 
means to obtain riches, but there ought to be in all things 
moderation and reason. 

In order to make our book complete we will, besides 
the above large cabalistic triangle, let the monthly cabala 
follow here, so that every one can choose which he pleases. 

Whoever wishes to try his luck with the monthly 
cabala, should, in that part of the month in which the 
drawing takes place, find out the numbers and write them 
upon the side, cabalize them in various ways in as many 
Gig-Tickets as you wish. 

For example : The Drawing in which you intend to 
play, falls on the 4th of January, thus you will find for 
the Drawing in the Lottery of this month the following 
numbers to play upon: 32, 42, 51.*
